Street Magic has taken the world by storm. Magicians are taking the art to the streets--where the routines are fresh and the reactions are huge. The Street Magic performance style is informed by a central question first vocalized by David Blaine:

"What would I do and say right now if I really were magic?"

When a magician asks that question of him/herself the challenge becomes how to keep the performance real. You're performing unbelievable effects: levitations (David Blaine performs the Balducci Levitation), transformations, vanishes, mentalism.

You're in essence contrasting this world of illusion with the grittiness of the city. The result is some of the most real, in-your-face performance ever achieved.

Street Magic effects have to pack small and play big. High-impact, raw, real magic.

Reviews for "The Mascot Makeover: Ace Ventura's Transformational Cases"

1. Jane - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with "Ace Ventura Combats Mascot". The movie felt forced and the comedy was over the top. Jim Carrey's portrayal of Ace Ventura just didn't work for me, and I found myself cringing throughout the whole film. The storyline was weak and predictable, and the attempts at humor felt childish and immature. Overall, I would not recommend this movie to anyone.

2. Mark - 1 star - I couldn't even finish watching "Ace Ventura Combats Mascot". The movie was completely absurd and not in a good way. Jim Carrey's performance as Ace Ventura was too over-the-top and obnoxious. The humor was crude and just not funny. I found myself rolling my eyes and questioning why I even bothered to start watching it. Save yourself the time and skip this one.

3. Sarah - 2 stars - "Ace Ventura Combats Mascot" was a big letdown for me. I had high hopes, considering the popularity of the original Ace Ventura movie, but this sequel fell flat. The jokes felt forced and repetitive, and it seemed like the filmmakers were just trying to cash in on the success of the first movie. Jim Carrey's character was more annoying than endearing, and overall, the movie lacked the charm and wit that made the original so enjoyable. I would suggest rewatching the first movie instead.
